Where are They Now?

After the competition we often find ourselves suffering from depression, sadness and a sense of being alone. Dr's have said it is very similar to post partum depression after woman deliver babies. It is a natural feeling after you have spent 3 months getting to know those in the competition, and then to drop off and not have any contact with them

Lets take this time to look back a little on the competition as well as see where a few of the competitor are now and what they have been doing after the competition.
One little unknown fact about the behind the scenes of the competition. Ciara sent a large pizza to Gentry two days prior to the final weigh in. He was unable to resist and ate the entire pizza without dabbing the grease off with a paper towel. Some feel that is what tipped the scales to allow Ciara to take 1st place!
As of this posting the BLBV2 website has had 983 visitors. 918 of those were within the USA, 32 from mother Russia, 8 from Germany, 7 from the United Kingdom and some from Bulgaria, Estonia, Croatia and Malaysia. That is pretty wild. Lets hope the final viewing of the competition bumps us up to 1,000 page views.

This was the only weight loss competition to actually have a competitor attempt to loose weight by riding a bike and throwing themselves at the pavement in order to shed a few pounds of skin and muscle tissue. This person did take 2nd place so it may have been well worth it.

We had 7 competitors break a century mark during the competition. Changing the first digit of your weight is a huge step in ones weight loss journey and we had 7 people take that step.

The group lost 308 pounds together that is an average of about 11.5 pounds for each competitor.

Lets look at some of the competitors and what they are doing now

Karen is getting ready for the Spud-man Triathlon along with Joe, Kim, Kelly, Nikki, Travis, Cami, Chaz, Chance, and Hailee. Pictured Karen just finished a 5 mile run in Vegas in preparation for the 10 K portion of the race!

Joe on the other hand prepares for the Spud-man by eating Fried Chicken and biscuits from Church's Chicken in North Las Vegas. I got to tell you this was the sketchiest place I think I've ever been in my life.

Frank continues delighting children as the black spider man. To hire him for your party call 801-955-9621

Joani pictured receiving her Week 9 biggest loser award. As you can see she continues her weight loss journey at the gym every day. She has committed to participating in an Iron Man Triathlon with hopes of one day competing in Kona!

Scott was noticed while working out at the gym by a talent scout. This helped him begin men's swimwear modeling.

Misty and Jennifer have started competing in synchronized swimming. They currently are rated 22 in the nation for woman's couples in the category dramatic twist. Nicely done!

Jennifer was unable to make the final weigh in because she was out of town, but she ran 10 miles that morning!

The Final results!

The competition has finally drawn to a close. The competition was hot and heavy as competitors battled for the title of BIGGEST LOSER! When the dust finally settled CIARA did work and was crowned the winner and all the prize money with it $340 US, but that was not without a fight. Kim finished just .66% behind to be named the 1st runner up and received $100US. Gentry had an amazing weight loss journey receiving the tiara and the title of 2nd runner up, and 25$ US and $25 gift card to bout time. Kelly put the vacation behind her and showed that despite what is going on in your life weight loss (magic) can happen, she finished as the third runner up, along with $18 cash money! Congratulations to all the winners!

Congratulations to all who participated in the competition, you are part of only 20% of all Americans still sticking to their new years resolution and for that you are all winners. It doesn't take a slip of paper, or cash money to say your a winner. It is said every time you jump on the scale without cringing, it said each time you can say no to dessert, it is said each time you increase your mileage on your Saturday run, or add another 20 Lbs to your bench max. It is said each time you look into the mirror and say daaamn Girl! It is said each time you shake off the dust of night and head to the gym at 6:00 AM, or when you choose the gym over prime time television programing. It is whispered in you ear when you say salad with dressing on the side when those fries sound so good. YOU ARE A WINNER!

Team Biggest Loser, The New You In 2-0-1-2 is also a winner! As a group we lost an amazing 308.9 Pounds! WE ARE WINNERS!

The Standings

The Standings are out and coming down to the final week things are shaping up and looking like we have 3 competitors fighting for the top spot. Ciara remains in the first spot at 13.31% , but Gentry and Kim narrowed the gap. Gentry retains second place with 12.97% and Kim in third with 12.38%. It really comes down to who wants it more and is willing to turn down the Thin mint. Kelly had an amazing week jumping her up to 4th spot and with another week like she had this week she is still in the hunt.

The group total weight loss is 278.9 With a big week from all we can eclipse the 300 Lb mark and loose a Frank!!!

The Final Weigh-In

Many have inquired about the final weigh-in. With this being week 10 we are only two weeks from the end of the competition. therefore the final weigh in will be either Friday March 23rd or Saturday March 24th. If we did it Friday it would be an evening weigh-in and if we did it Saturday it would be an early morning weigh-in. Please leave a comment on this post with your vote and we will determine by Wednesday what the date will be to give everyone ample time to arrange their schedule to be there.

Also, as is shown on the side of the blog there are some competitors who have not paid. Please turn the money in as soon as you can. It would be a shame to have those who have worked so hard receive less than they anticipated.

Rules Infraction Comitees Findings Case #33214-KT

The Biggest Loser Rules Infraction Committee has just released a full detailed report of their findings on case #33214-KT. The Committee was given the task of determining if Kimmerer Terry was in violation of CFR-19-216 stating that no body part is to be amputated during the competition.

The committee has determined that though as much as 3.78 pounds of flesh and skin were removed by Kim and deposited on 4100 S. The body tissue will have fully regenerated within 3-4 weeks. Dr. Vanostrin of the clinic stated " This may have caused a decreased weight for Kim in weeks 6-10, but by the final weigh-in, the drastic attempt by Kim to shed a few pounds will have no effect on his weight, in fact the large amount of scar tissue may increase his final weight by nearly .02 pounds."

The Biggest Loser accepts the findings of the rules infraction committee, but does not take the actions of Kim lightly. The Biggest Loser staff would also like to remind everyone that this is a friendly competition to help all involved loose weight, get healthy and start a new life. When the competition gets to the point that we are doing more harm to our bodies than good we are all losers (not in a biggest loser way either).
